Is there a shortage of apostrophes at Yahoo Lifestyle? Or is it just a shortage of editors who know how to use them? Here’s a headline and teaser that has me questioning if Yahoo hires only apostrophe- and spelling-impaired editors:

OK. So that was just a careless mistake (or two or three). The actual article must be better, right? Wrong. Those folks at Yahoo are still apostrophe-impaired, unable to put them in two places in one sentence:

Let’s take the charitable view that this is just a typo and not the result of a writer’s unfamiliarity with a common expression like “fill it up”:

I’d overlook this mistake (just like the writer overlooked the word to before walk), if it were the only goof, but alas, it’s not:

Another apostrophe goes missing here, but maybe it’s just the result of a malfunctioning keyboard:

But, wait! There’s more! After I wrote this post, the headline and teaser were corrected. Somewhat:

It looks like the editors noticed the missing apostrophe and the typo. Good job! Maybe next time they’ll learn to use a spell-checker and proofread before publishing. If not, I may just harass them some more.

If you think readers don’t care about typos, think again. Here’s a little typo (in a headline, no less!) from yahoo.com:

Did readers notice? Of course they did. And they had something to say about the error:

His nind is fine. His mind, not so much.

What exactly is “Nind”? perhaps its the author that is not doing well….

However, Wilbur’s ”Nind” is in question now.

Trump is in a constant New York state of nind.

State of nind?

Trump’s “state of nind”? yahoo has surely lost its own.

A nind is a terrible thing to waste.

why not do a spell check yahoo

I can see typo or spelling/grammatical errors getting thru the proofing process when it’s part of the article’s text. That’s impossible to always avoid. The headlines should never have one though. That’s embarrassing.

And my personal favorite:

I do worry about the “State of Nind” of the proofreaders at yahoo. Perhaps they should have their Covfefes examined.
